Most common mistakes made by new reloaders

[griz]

I can't prove it, but I think the most common newbie mistake is inconsistent primer seating. I suspect that most of my misfires were from primers that were not fully seated. "Dud" primers are very rare.

This is not a "new to" mistake but often forget to check the Dillon's powder die and funnel for Spider nests when changing
tool heads...............

"...not keeping good records. Now I put info on 3x5 index cards and keep them on the reloading table. I have all my info on the card so I don't forget and have to look it up all the time."

Great Tip!
